Laundry Platform

This is the third platform I’ve made to raise a washer and dryer. Two have been high enough for laundry baskets to fit underneith the first was just enough to allow the laundry basket to fit under the door when it is opened. Washer & dryer manufacturers sell drawer platforms for their machines at $200 a piece. And they can’t hold a bottle of detergent upright. I make these platforms for $250.

The risers are jointed 2×4 jointed to 2×12 in order to get the rise I needed.These risers are then notched to receive 2×4 joists.This is topped with 3/4 ply and shoe molding and then painted. This platform is painted using chalk paint plus a coat of wax.
